The people who are opposed to the building of a mosque or prayer room near the site of the World Trade Center forget that the Constitution allows freedom of religion. If we do not allow the mosque to be built we are going against the constitution and one of our fundamental rights as Americans. One of the reasons people left Europe to settle in the New World was to escape religious persecution. Just because Muslims were the ones who flew airplanes into the World Trade Center does not make all Muslims our enemy, and they have as much right to construct a house of worship as well as any other religion in this country.

Timothy Mc Veigh was a Christian, and an Army veteran; April 19,1995 he detonated a truck in front of the Alfred P. Murrah building in Oklahoma City killing 168 people. This was the deadliest act of Terrorism in the history of the United States prior to 911. Mc Veigh was raised Irish Catholic as his religion. With this said, should we stop all Christian churches being built near the Oklahoma City area? No one would even consider the idea of not allowing a Christian church not to be built, because the Christian religion is so great to many Americans. Is it any different than the Muslim religion? I do not believe so. Just different beliefs, and who makes the call on what belief is right. Religion is religion every one has the right to believe as they see fit.

The outrage that many people are expressing is misdirected and fueled by the Christian right and Republican Party who's sole purpose is to make bad publicity against president Obama who expressed the facts about the constitution allowing freedom of religion in this country, and that America must keep the constitution in tact.

We can not pick and choose who is protected by the constitution and who is not, if that is the case then we are not free and we are a shameful bunch, in order to protect our freedoms we must defend all freedoms whether we agree with the religion or not. That is why America is so great, we have all different kinds of beliefs.
I have to say that personally I do not take to any religious faith, in my opinion they are all the same; each religion is trying to get to their idea of heaven, but is taking a different route. They all want money from you. But God don't have a bank account. I say each to their own, and let people be. Worship a tree if that is your belief who the heck cares.

The Christian religion has done many terrible things in their sordid past, the Holy Crusade were not for religious purposes but for riches. Done in the name of religion. The Knights Templar were all killed but one (who escaped) by King Phillip IV of France. Because they had become too wealthy and powerful and he feared his throne plus he wanted the riches for himself. Done on Friday the 13^th. The day of bad luck.

The following acts were done by Christian people,
Christians deliberately gave small pox to indigenous people by rubbing small pox puss on blankets and passing the blankets to the unsuspecting victims.
Good Christians wanted the Native Americans gone from the plains so they killed off all the buffalo so the people would starve to death.

Good Catholic priests molested little boys, while the pope himself knew and ignored the problem for decades supporting the cover up. Good Christians tied a cow up to a tree knowing that the Indians were starving and would come and try and get the cow for food, when the Indians came for the cow the good Christians massacred the Indians. Good Christians cut the heads off of Indians and used the heads as kickball's through the city's streets. As soon as the Mayflower landed Good Christian people have done all kinds of hideous acts against other people and then went to church, business as usual.
